Synopsis: One of the most striking testimonies of the Jewish Holocaust reaches us through the voice of a German girl who died at sixteen in a concentration camp. Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt in 1929, and three years later her family was forced to emigrate to the Netherlands to escape Nazi terror. In her Diary she recorded the experience of living in hiding in a house with her family and others, attempting to evade the persecution inflicted by the Germans upon Jews. Tenderness, solidarity, hope, fears, arguments in confined spaces, monotony, love, the desire for freedom, and a wide range of emotions are captured on these pages by a girl who dreamed of becoming a writer—and who ultimately perished from typhus and the madness that swept across Europe in the first half of the twentieth century. "In the Secret Annex, I wrote a diary that became famous worldwide… and that became a symbol of the Holocaust. My voice now speaks on behalf of the six million innocent victims murdered during World War II. I hope my words serve, above all, to provoke reflection on the insanity and barbarity of war."
